Disabling a form until it's fully loaded

Some of my users access our web forms over slow internet connections. Every so often they raise issues that seem to be caused by them interacting with the form before it is fully loaded (the Orbeon-generated javascript behind a control is not available yet, or whatever).

Is there an easy way to disable a form until the xforms-ready event is received? Something like what xxforms:modal does in the context of triggers and submissions.

Regards,

Alan.

Re: Disabling a form until it's fully loaded

Alan,

Not sure if this is this is exactly what you are looking for, but it
sounds like it would be close. Here's what I'm doing:

..
<xforms:instance id="odm-instance">
<ODM/>
</xforms:instance>
<xforms:instance id="variables-instance" xxforms:validation="skip">
<Variables>
<Status loading="true"/>
</Variables>
</xforms:instance>

<xforms:submission id="read-data" method="get"
action="http://localhost/xforms/xml/test.xml" replace="instance"
instance="odm-instance">
<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-submit-done">
<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('variables-instance')/Status/@loading"
value="'false'"/>

<xxforms:script>initJS();</xxforms:script>
</xforms:action>
</xforms:submission>

<xforms:dispatch ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done"
target="odm-model" name="load-initial-data" delay="1"/>

<xforms:action ev:event="load-initial-data">
<xforms:send submission="read-data"/>
</xforms:action>
..
<xhtml:body>

<xforms:group
ref="instance('variables-instance')/Status[normalize-space(@loading) =
'true']" appearance="xxforms:fieldset">
<xhtml:div style="text-align:center;vertical-align:middle">
<xhtml:img src="/images/ajax/ajax_process.gif" alt="loading"/>
Please wait while the page loads...
</xhtml:div>
</xforms:group>

<xforms:group style="background-color:#f5f5f5"
appearance="xxforms:fieldset"
ref="instance('variables-instance')/Status[normalize-space(@loading) =
'false']">
</xforms:group>

Alan, Jeremy,

I am surprised this could happen. In the HTML produced by the server,
<form> has a class xforms-initially-hidden, which is display: none.
That class is removed in JavaScript when all the JavaScript files we
need are loaded, and everything has been initialized. Do you have this
problem with 3.8 or a more recent version? If you do a "view source"
on a page served by Orbeon Forms, do you see that
xforms-initially-hidden class on the <form>?

RE: Re: Re: Disabling a form until it's fully loaded

Hi Alex,

I'm still running 3.7 beta. I've been unable to upgrade to 3.8 because of the authentication issues I experienced with the latest version [http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=315104&group_id=168&atid=350207]

On that authentication issue, I'm surprised more users haven't been reporting it. Is there an alternative authentication method that others use instead?
I'd love to be able to upgrade to 3.8 as there are quite a few bugs in 3.7 that I'm having to continue working around.

Regards,
Alan.

Hi Alan, I don't know if this will help, but we're using Spring
Security to implement authentication with Orbeon. We're still on
Orbeon 3.7, so don't know yet if Spring + Orbeon 3.8 has issues.

For an example minimal spring security config on an orbeon web project
see [1].

Hi again Alex,

To answer your original question: I can see the following in the source:

<span class="xforms-loading-loading">Loading...</span>

In reply to this post by Alan Leavy

Alan,

So you have no xforms-initially-hidden on the <form>. I am surprised,
as I though we implemented this a while ago, well before 3.8. You are
looking at the initial source produced by the server; not the live
HTML DOM, right? If indeed you don't have this in your version, then
you're out of luck ;). You would need to upgrade, but I understand you
can't before we fix that other login issue.

Alex
